In this zone, you will find a collection of lovely and brilliant merchant vendors looking to sell their wares to you bold adventurers! We do not charge any of these creators to be on the site or take any cut of their sales. All sales are handled directly by the vendors themselves, and all money goes to them. They are really hurting right now as their main source of income has vanished overnight, so take a look and get ready to your wallets on some awesome merchandise!
The Amazing Mystery Box
‘The Amazing Mystery Box‘ launched at Comic-Con London in October 2015 with the claim that they were the “best value for money of any mystery box to be found at the show.” That is a bold statement, but having bought boxes from various vendors over the years, I have to say, I really think they live up to it.
‘The Amazing Mystery Box’ offers one-off purchases, or a monthly subscription service, at prices ranging from £12.99 to £49.99, with the average price being at the £24.99 mark. They guarantee the value of the box will be at least double the price you are paying, so a 24.99 box has around £50 worth of goodies. You can buy boxes filled with general geekiness, or geek specific boxes, such as a ‘Doctor Who’, ‘DC Comics’ or ‘Star Wars’ themed box.
They also offer boxes which are age-appropriate, which is a nice touch. So if you want to get a subscription for a geeky youngling, but want to make sure they aren’t going to end up with some ‘Walking Dead’ loot, they have boxes aimed at 3-10yr olds, and you can choose a general box which will also filter out 18+ goodies. It’s a really good selection!
For those of you looking to sign up to ‘The Amazing Mystery Box‘ subscription, they have given us a bonus code. If you enter GEEKTOWNPLUS at the checkout, you’ll get an extra t-shirt in your first box!
The Custom Cupcake Company
If you’ve been to any UK Comic-Con, your mouth has probably watered at some point walking past The Custom Cupcake Company stand. They produce, not only cupcakes, but a range of products including brownies, some of the most amazing fudge you’ve ever tasted, and the very more-ish chocolate covered marshmallows.
Unfortunately, the cupcakes themselves aren’t really possible to send via the post, however, fudge, brownies and marshmallows do travel in the mail! They are now selling “Winchester Survival boxes” which consist of a range of sweet treat goodies for you to binge on at home whilst you binge on Netflix! Each box will contain your pick of eight items, priced at £15 plus £3 p&p. You won’t regret it (although you might need to loosen a belt buckle!)
They are offering a range of treats which changes from week to week, so either tweet at them on Twitter or contact them via their website for the latest info!
Grant Perkins Art Prints
Grant is a UK based freelance artist who produces a stack of wonderful geeky art covering things from Doctor Who to Thundercats, and Deadpool to Alice In Wonderland. His work has appeared in WWE Kids Magazine, 2000AD, Titan comics and Doctor Who, but like a lot of freelance artists, he made a large chunk of his income from selling his prints at Comic-Cons.

He also has a Patreon where you can subscribe to various levels, offering anything from access to the the “Patreons only” posts, to getting a signed A3 print mailed out to you every month.

Chris Rose Photography
Chris Rose produces this wonderfully quirky photography featuring a mash-up of various geeky characters in toy form. He has collected Star Wars toys on and off since I was six years old and always loved imagining the “backstories” of the characters, wondering what happened once the main story had ended, or just making up his own tales for them.
He sells prints of his work online at £20 for A4, or £25 for A3, featuring a range of Star Wars, Marvel, and other geeky characters. Check out his website and online store at chrisrosephotography.co.uk

The Mermaid’s Cave
The Mermaid’s Cave might sound like it should be all sparkles and unicorns, but then one of the first produces I saw on their store was a Jason Voorhees necklace and an R2-D2 patch, so clearly they have a much broader range than the name suggests! They have a huge and lovely collection of patches, jewellery, and other geeky merchandise, from Infinity War Endgame Marvel Charm Bracelets to Handmade Tigger Necklaces to Handmade Sonic The Hedgehog Earrings!
